Many Catholic commentators, authors, and scholars use the RSV2CE, including [[Scott Hahn]], Curtis Mitch, Steve Ray, and [[Jimmy Akin]].<ref>See any book by Hahn (ICSB, The Lamb's Supper, Reasons to Believe), Mitch (ICSB, CCSS [NAB], A Study Guide for Jesus of Nazareth), Jimmy Akin (Fathers Know Best, Salvation Controversy), title pages: "All quotations of Scripture in this book are taken from the Revised Standard Version - [Second] Catholic Edition unless otherwise noted".</ref>

To that end, Ignatius Press has published a lectionary based on the RSV-2CE, approved for use by the Episcopal Conference of the [[Antilles]] and by the [[Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments]] for use in the [[personal ordinariates]]. The [[Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham]] in the [[United Kingdom]] has adopted the RSV-2CE as "the sole lectionary authorized for use" in its liturgies,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ordinariate.org.uk/liturgy-anglican-use |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2015-01-21 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131224115341/http://www.ordinariate.org.uk/liturgy-anglican-use |archivedate=2013-12-24 }}</ref>, and the [[Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales]] agreed in November 2015<ref>{{cite web |title=November 2015 Plenary Resolutions |url=http://www.cbcew.org.uk/november-2015-plenary-resolutions/ |website=cbcew.org.uk |publisher=Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales |accessdate=23 October 2019}}</ref> to ask approval to use it in a new lectionary for England and Wales.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bishops' Conference – November 2015 |url=http://liturgyoffice.org/News/bishops-conference-november-2015/ |website=Liturgy Office News & Events |publisher=Liturgy Office, England and Wales |accessdate=23 October 2019}}</ref>

While copies of the RSV-2CE Bible are readily available from the publisher and via well-known commercial online retailers, the lectionary books for use at mass are not currently being sold except by sources within the [[Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ordinariateexpats.wordpress.com/2014/05/24/rsv-lectionary-still-available-from-our-lady-of-the-atonement/|title=ordinariate expats}}</ref> ''The Book of the Gospels'' is also difficult to obtain. Parishes of the [[personal ordinariates]] have been obtaining Gospel Books from Africa, where the RSV-2CE was approved for use in several countries.<ref>https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/35/BookOfGospelsCoverPage.jpg</ref>
